Swan Oasis

This is our second time staying here and we loved it just as much as the first time ! So much room to spread out and be comfortable for 5 adults, yet great space to be together as a family ! We enjoyed swimming, boating, sitting by the fire, playing games at the kitchen table, and barbecuing each night.

Perfect family location

Restful and perfect accommodations for a relaxing family getaway on beautiful Swan Lake. Hosts have set up and offered all basic necessities and more in their beautiful lakefront cabin. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and use of dock for our boat. Lots of lawn room for family games.

Cozy stay

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at this cabin on Swan Lake. The weather was cool and rainy most of the time, but we were cozy with the fireplace inside. The cabin had everything we needed and a great lake location. Beautiful beach and dock views. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful lake front cabin

Perfect get away cabin ON swan lake. Slept family of five very comfortably. Grandma and grandpa joined for a few nights and still did not feel cramped. Took our boat and launch was only about 3 mins from the cabin. Too shallow at dock the boat but anchored and walked in. Kids kayaked during day and roasted mallows at night. For us this place is 5 star worthy.

Beautiful lake property! Great views, quiet, and nice yard for our dog.

This is a very comfortable house on a beautiful lake. There’s good mountain biking and gravel biking and hiking very close by. The water is clean and clear. If you like stand up paddle boarding you’ll love the Swan River from nearby Porcupine Bridge back to this cabin. I’d come again!

Swan Lake House

This property was as advertised. Well appointed kitchen, clean. Bedrooms were nice. The best part was the lake. We paddleboarded, fished, swam and barbecued. Nice place for dogs and children. We loved our stay.

Perfect cabin on the lake

well maintained log cabin with enough insulation to keep the cabin cool all day after opening windows in the evening. Excellent boat access to the mouth of the Swan River and beyond. Much quieter than Flathead Lake. Great swimming, paddle boarding, and gravel MTB riding on forest service roads.

Swan Paradise

We packed everything we would need and didn’t end up needing any of it… your cabin had EVERYTHING we needed and more! It was 100 degrees during our stay and we were plenty cool and very comfortable during our stay. The view and the water were the best! The beds were very comfortable and the layout of your cabin was perfection. Very easy to have family time and yet have some space for chill time here and there. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your cabin, we couldn’t be happier !!

Absolutely perfect location

Family with kids of all ages from 3 months to 13 years and we absolutely loved the location on Swan Lake. The water and dock are easily accessed with very shallow water which was perfect for our littles. There is a small mart just across the street and about 100 meters away with delicious ice cream treats. The house is cozy and stayed cool with strategic window opening and closing even though it was hot with mid 90s every day. Thank you, we can’t wait to visit again!

Outstanding Swan Lake home

Outstanding Swan Lake home. We had an outstanding week on the lake and enjoyed the log home. The beach is shallow in this part of the lake. It would be perfect if the dock reached out to where a boat could dock. There is weights out deeper that must be from a previous dock if you want to anchor your boat to it but it’s a pain to wade in and out to use a boat.

Lake life

Easy check in, right on the lake, used the kayak. The only thing I did not plan for was no AC. Fans in the rooms helped. If you have a heatwave, which Montana was having, AC would have been good. Otherwise, we enjoyed it.

We had a fabulous, much needed family time. We rented a boat one day and watched or performed some very entertaining tubing. We kayaked and swam and picked rocks. Some tried to hike but felt it was too over grown; we will scout that out better. We found the kitchen and the grill to meet all of our requirements. I loved it!

Relaxing time by the lake

We loved the rustic feel of the log cabin and its proximity to the water. The water is super shallow for a long way. Loved the use of the kayaks as well. The weather was wonderful while we were there. There are homes nearby. It is not as secluded as the listing seemed but still afforded some privacy. This was a great place to end our Montana vacation.

Peaceful cozy cabin on the lake

Wonderful get away to enjoy a long weekend with my sons. Cabin was on point with all the amenities we needed. Still very cold so spent most of our time inside by the fire. Standing by the Lake you felt like the only people around. Owners were wonderful to communicate with and responded very promptly to all of our questions. Look forward to coming back.
